RECOLLECTIONS OF J. WESSIE
WILLIAMS, JR.

Died, in Reidsville, n. c., December
4th, 1887, of diphtheria, j. Wessie vii
liams, Jr., in the 21st year of his age.
Just entering manhood, young, tale n
ted, with bright prospects, noble aspir-
ations and beloved by all who knew him
truly has it been said that death loves a
shining mark. The days of our happy
childhood spent together rose vividlv in
my memory when the news of his death
reached me and / see him now as knew
him then, gentle, noble and loving: he
was ut once the pride and joy of his par
ents and delight of brothers and sisters
and friends. Just before his illness.
which lasted only two days, he was
looking eagerly forward to gathering
all his brothers and sisters at the old
homestead, to have one more happy re-
union of the scattered family. Now the
only reunion we will ever know will be
not at our childhood S home, but Just
beyond the shining river.''
He joined the Baptist Church at War
renton, N. c., at 10 years of age, and
has been a thoroughly consistent and
conscientious Christian ever since. His
gentle, loving disposition endeared him
to all, but to none more than the sister
to whom he was ever kind and affeo
tionate. To the other members of h s
bereaved family, 1 would SAVIOUR low
ed one is not dead, but asleep; not lost,
but gone before. God knows best, He
giveth His loved ones sleep"
Like weary and WORKOUT children
That sigh for the daylight's close,
He knew that he oft was longing
For home and it's sweet repose;
So He called him in from his labors,
Ere the shadows could round him creep
And guarding him safe from danger,
He hath given His loyed one sleep.

How often we see farmer trying to
carry more land than he can we'll do;
often double the number of acres they
should have. 1t does not pay to carry
on farm in this fashion; better pay
taxes only on what you can profitably
till. Put the fertilizers on few acres.

will pay great deal better.-Husband-

The noble army Of Life Savers did
good work last year. There were 1872

were 1927 persons, of whom 6272 were
saved. The total value Of property
saved was So, 788, 82O.-Falcon.

Court bench the President has made

Union knows all sections, and all
sections should be represented on the
court alike.-News and Observer.
The people Of Albemarle rejoice
with those of other sections over the
recovery of Senator Vance from his
recent accident. The Asheville Cit
izen says the appearance of numer-
Gus bears in his neighborhood may
have fastened his recovery as he is
quite fond of such game.-Enquirer.
Statistics show that all the land in
the United States under cultivation
for breadstuffs, hay and cotton in not
over one-fifth of the arabic acreage,
and that the State of Texes, which
exceeds the area Of the whole Ger
man empire, has sufficient acreage to
grow the entire present wheat crop Of
the United States.-Carolinian.
The Charlotte Chronicle says: "1t
is rumored that movement behind

Ohio Democrat says that though some

Mr.. Foran, will vote for any tariff bill

The prohibition law of Kansas has
been declared constitutional by the
highest court in the land. This is a
victory for the temperance cause, and
will doubtless have tendency to
strengthen it n other States. Justice
Harlan, in delivering the opinion
says: "The State Of Kansas had a
right to prohibit the liquor traffic. 1t
did not thereby take away the property
of the brewers. 1t simply abated q
nuisance. The property is not taken
away from its owners. They are only |
prohibited from using for specific
purpose, which the legislature de
clared to be injurious to the commu-
nifty Durham Tobacco Plant.
By his advocacy of free raw mate
rails and general tariff reduction,
while opposing abolishing the internal
revenue, President Cleveland has
aroused the South to point where a

certain. The industrial interests of

Courier-Journal: The rapid spread
of protection among foreign nations
against American bread-stuffs since
1879 is one of the most remarkable
features of the times. In France,
Germany, Spain, Italy and Austria
Hungary, the duties on wheat range
between fifteen and three-quarters
and thirty cents q bushel; in Mexico
and the Central and South Ameri-
can States the range is between
twenty cents and $1.o2 per bushel; in
Greece, Turkey, Switzerland and
China the range is three and one
quarter cents to seven and one-half
cents. In England, Russia, Belgium,
Holland, Denmark and Sweden
cereal imports are free. This set of
events happened to arise in this way:
The United States was by far the
largest producer and exporter OF
wheat in the world, but the United
States also maintained the highest
import tariff against other nations.
So, one by one those nations got
their "backs up" and decided that
it was in order to act on the principle
that "the hair of the dog is good for
the bite" 1t is a thousand pities,
hover, that the farmer, at whose cost
those duties are chiefly laid here, is
also made to suffer the direct brun'
of foreign retaliation for thing
which is running him.

The Fastest Boat In the world.

Messrs. Thorneycroft, the torpedo
boat builders, of Chiswick, have just
completed a new torpedo boat for the
Spanish Government, which for
speed has beaten anything that has
yet been built. The new boat Is
lat feet 6 inches in length, has a
beam of IA feet inches, and draws 4
feet inches of water. She has
twin-screw compound engines, which
act independently Of each other,
while the steering gear consists Of
two curved rudders, which make her
the handiest vessel of the class YET
afioat, as she is able to turn about In
three times her length going at ordi
nary speed, which to-day was 54-s4
knots with the natural draught.
On trip the other day with thu
tide In her favor and forced draugh1
she attained the extraordinary speed
of 29.01 knots, or rate of nearly 33,
miles an hour. GAINESVILLE ought t.
have two of those boats-one to rur
to Paducah and one to Nashville.
